Additional Questions and Answers
Question: Do you have any references?


Answer: Yes. Here are a few of the testimonials which can be found in my guestbook at www.DavidZipse.com:



David played for my folks’ 50th anniversary party last September at The Farmhouse in Avondale. I knew from previous experience that he would put on a good show with just the kind of music the "old folks" would like, as well as a few for us younger people, too. Not only did he exceed my expectations in that regard, but he brought the house down, to the point where other restaurant guests came wandering in to see where the great music was coming from. By the end of the evening we were all up dancing, and hearing Rhapsody in Blue was the icing on the cake. Wonderful!

David you are a most talented musician as well as an excellent orchestra conductor and music director. Your work on CAPA’s High Society and Little Shop of Horrors was outstanding. I look forward to working with you in the future. Always, Alex

This is Cheryl Romano Banquet Coordinator from the Rehoboth Beach Country Club in Deleware, we are a members only country club. I have had the distinct pleasure in booking David individually for many years as a piano player for our members and they always look forward to hearing him play. We recently had his group here for our Saturday evening entertainment, and they really had our crowd on the dance floor! Comments and raves continue to come in! We are looking forward to their return later this year!

We had the distinct pleasure of producing "Nunsense" last year..David was the pianist. WOW! Standing ovation from the full houses every night after his pre-show gig. Used him again in Dec. for "Nuncrackers" at Milton Theatre. Also booked him for a major Lewes fundraiser. THEN I booked him for a private party at my home (can’t get enough!).Excellent musician...great fun to work with..superb show!

Dave - You rock! Simply the best in the tri-state area! I always run into you when our band Remedy plays The Reef and just sit back and enjoy! You are just one fabulous keyboard player -- great form, technique, and a great ear. You are most certainly something for me to aspire towards! Pat
